Who Is the Hottest Robin Hood? 2010-05-10 15:30:34

Who's the Hottest Robin Hood?

This Friday, Russell Crowe will show off his handiwork with a bow and arrow in the new, action-packed Robin Hood. He's hardly the first to steal from the rich and give to the poor, though: over the years we've seen the costume transform as different actors have stepped into the role. My personal favorite Robin Hood movie has got to be Men in Tights, but there's no denying that Kevin Costner looked pretty good under all that armor. We'll have to wait until Friday to see how Crowe does with the accent and sword fighting, but based on aesthetics alone — who's the hottest Robin?

Errol Flynn!!!! I just watched this movie on Mothers Day with my kids. They LOVED it!I love Wesley too, but Errol is the original, no one can compare!

I've picked Elwes. But, I wish there was Michael Praed from Robin of Sherwood TV series. He is the best Robin so far. Russel Crow is a TERRIBLE choice for Robin. He is too...well-fed to me to believe that the character was living in the forest and that he was the man on the run hunted by Sheriff; plus, RC is just a horrible actor. He has one impression on his face all the time (this pic may be inserted into Gladiator promo poster and no one would notice the difference) and he lacks the professional skills that are needed for the role. Costner was really bad either.

Cary Elwes of course! :)
Kevin Costner can't act worth sh*t no matter what he does, and he didn't even try an accent when he was playing Robin Hood. Morgan Freeman was better at it than he was, just like everyone else.
And Russell Crowe needs to stop doing the old gladiator/warrior roles because he's done too many already. One should have been enough.
And just like Redgoblin #9, I too have enjoyed Cary Elwes since I saw him in The Princess Bride many years ago.

Russell Crowe with Cary being a close second. I just prefer Crowe's rugged-sexiness over the others (also, it helps that wardrobe did not put him tights...) Rarely, do I find his looks worthy of going "gaga" over however in this film and Gladiator, he shined.

I have actually seen the new Robin Hood and it's pretty good. Kind of a Gladiator vibe.
I had to pick Russell Crowe because he was really good in the movie.
If I had my choice though I would have gone with Matthew Porretta from The New Adventures of Robin Hood although that was also a television show.
